Hello, welcome to Football 301.

I am your host, Nate Tice.

This is a late night trade reaction Friday DJ hours type of episode here.

Max Crosby is now a Baltimore Raven for two first round picks, a 2026 first rounder, which is pick 14,

and a 2027 first rounder.

We are going to break it all down by we.

I mean, just me.

Just a little solo hour here.

Not an hour.

Hopefully not an hour.

I just heard Stone.

Producer cringe.

I'm just sending this over to him.

But let's talk about this trade.

Ravens getting Crosby. This definitely makes sense. This is a team that is pushing it all into the middle of the table.

And actually, the Ravens defense really did improve last year when they kind of played around with their DBEs, moving Hamilton around.

They traded for a Lowy Gilman, kind of figuring out. But the past they kind of played around with their dbys moving hamilton around to trade for a lowy gilman kind of figuring out but the pass rush kind of stuck uh especially with mattipigay

being injured matthews also working out again which is exciting along with crosbie but the league average

pressure rate for pass rushers with 200 or more pass rush snaps last year.

There was a good amount of those players.

It was 10% on the dot.

And that's pretty sticky year after year.
